We’re looking for volunteer Real Nappy Advisors

No experience is necessary to become a volunteer Real Nappy Advisor as full training is available. It’s a great opportunity to help other people to save money and do something good for the environment.

After requesting a loan kit you’ll be contacted by a Reusable Nappy Advisor who will arrange to meet you. You’ll be provided with your trial kit and shown how to use and care for the various nappies it contains. During the trial period your Reusable Nappy Advisor will be on hand to answer any questions you might have. After 4 weeks the advisor will contact you and arrange for the return of the kit.

If you then go on to use reusable nappies on your child after the trial, your advisor will continue to offer you support.

Using reusable nappies is a great choice. From birth to completion of potty training, each child is likely to require 5,000 to 6,000 nappy changes*. One set of reusable nappies can see a child through that entire period. That same set could then be handed down to a younger sibling, or could be sold on for use by another child. Because of this, reusable nappies are cheaper in the long term than using disposable nappies, and they are much better for the environment too.

Some Reusable Nappy Advisors are also able to offer advice on reusable menstrual products. Reusable tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups offer a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to single use menstrual products. Make use of the Go Real reusable nappy network to find your nearest nappy library for advice: http://www.goreal.org.uk/finder
